LiveKit: offline framework-adapter simulation
June 24, 2026 · View on GitHub
Twin:
examples/sdk_framework_adapter_livekit_run_session_promotion.py· emitsagent-learning.run.v1· offline, no credentials. A coding agent can complete this page from the frontmatter alone.
1. What you are testing
LiveKit coverage in the kit is probe-promoted, and this page is deliberately
offline: it tests the agent-session adapter, not a live room. The twin,
examples/sdk_framework_adapter_livekit_run_session_promotion.py,
builds a local LocalLiveKitAgentSession with two surfaces: a respond(text) path
that returns content with no room-session evidence, and an async
run_session(payload) path that returns verified evidence only when the adapter
passes metadata.framework == "livekit" in the payload dict. Promotion selects the
session entrypoint with evidence; the text path is recorded as weak.
The failure class this catches is session-shape mismatch: a voice agent harness that drives the text surface can look healthy while never exercising the session contract a real room would use. Pinning the adapter shape offline means the behavioral contract is already proven before any live infrastructure enters the picture.
The run manifest, examples/framework_livekit_manifest.json,
drives the same adapter from the CLI. It targets the factory
framework_shims.py:build_livekit_agent with trace_runtime: true and replays a
framework_trace environment whose span is agent.respond. Everything runs on the
local_text engine in one turn: offline, deterministic, no provider keys.
2. Run it
CLI (the required_env key is CI metadata for this offline manifest — any
placeholder value satisfies it):
AGENT_LEARNING_MULTI_FRAMEWORK_EXAMPLE_KEY=local-example \
agent-learn run examples/framework_livekit_manifest.json \
--output artifacts/framework-livekit.json
SDK, same operation (export the same placeholder env first):
import asyncio
from fi.alk import simulate
result = asyncio.run(
simulate.run_manifest_file("examples/framework_livekit_manifest.json")
)
assert result["kind"] == "agent-learning.run.v1"
3. What you built
Postcondition (machine-checkable — the same check the docs gate pattern uses):
python -c "import json; p=json.load(open('artifacts/framework-livekit.json')); assert p['kind']=='agent-learning.run.v1', p['kind']; print('ok')"
The artifact carries status, a per-turn transcript for the framework-owner
scenario, the evaluation report, and the framework runtime trace evidence the
adapter extracted — including the agent.respond span the manifest replays. It is
a replayable record, not a log line: the same file feeds baseline, compare, and
replay.
4. When it fails
| Symptom | First-mile class | Doctor check |
|---|---|---|
vendored import failed | infra | agent-learn doctor → summary.missing_engine_modules |
missing required environment variable(s) | config fault | set the placeholder key shown above; agent-learn doctor → summary.public_boundary_passed confirms the install surface |
transcript shows the weak respond(text) path (no session evidence) | behavior regression | re-run the twin promotion and compare run_session evidence against the text fallback |
5. Prove it / keep it
The twin is admitted by the framework_adapter_probe_readiness release gate, so
every agent-learn release-check re-executes this exact session promotion path —
the page stays true or the release fails. To keep your own LiveKit agent honest,
promote the run artifact into a regression baseline with the baseline /
promote-to-regression / compare command family, then wire the manifest into CI.
Live LiveKit sessions (real rooms, real audio) are an opt-in lane (see
ROADMAP.md: voice lane rungs) — this page stays on the offline golden path. The reader's job here is maintenance of a
living proof, not a one-off demo.
